    "content": "I have heard that the new Constitution allows peaceful demonstration. However, the same Constitution does not allow destruction of property. So, for those who may want to demonstrate, they may go ahead and demonstrate peacefully. However, when they engage themselves in activities other than peaceful demonstration, like what happened yesterday, the police will act. In yesterday’s demonstration, pick-pockets caused havoc. Many Members of Parliament lost their mobile telephone handsets. That was not peaceful demonstration. The law will catch up with them. If they try again to destroy property and go into other things, I am assuring this House that we will take action, be it in Parliament or outside Parliament, so that we can restore sanity. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
